Definitely one of better fight mechanics I’ve encountered so far. It wasn’t hard and yet it had some interesting mechanics to keep it interesting. I hope we get more of these!

Anet is trying to damper the over-dominance of berserker gear in PvE and confine it to optimized dungeon speed clear.
Why was berserker the “only stat set worth taking” in PvE ? ’Cause mobs had few highly telegraphed attacks and were hp bags that did not move a lot. So you just LoS them in a corner and beat the crap outta them before they had the time to move. Problem is, this taught you VERY BAD GAMEPLAY HABITS.
Now what do I see? I see pesky inquest that spams cc on you and move all over the place. I can’t Los them either. What do I do ? I adapted : now I take more condition removal and I switched from berserker to knight or celestial depending on the toon. You know what ? It works and I do more damage because I spend less time trying to survive and more time attacking stuff.
Don’t expect the dev to stand around eating popcorn while the PvE meta falls in pieces. They are taking steps to (hopefully) correct it : What do you mean correct? -> berserker gear was intended for the top 1% (not the top 99%) of players who can dodge everything and for warriors who are still resilient with this type of stats. The rest of us can pick up mixed gear (knight, valk, celestial) to be able to resist incoming damage and ditch it back. Also, note the increasing number of condition vulnerable ennemies.
About the NPCs : they are here to tank mobs while you hack them in pieces, and provide some water fields as well. That is not much but still better than nothing.
I completely agree with everything you’ve said, I’ve tried facerolling this episode on my zerk thief and failed. After deciding to play a bit more defensive and not switching to my wvw guard, I managed to clean everything(achievements included) after adjusting skills and paying more attention to telegraphed/AOE attacks.
I’d love it if they added some kind of hard mode, or even gambits and make them reward token or two after completing entire episode on that difficulty. That would give alternative to RNG that wouldn’t be simple grind.
Developer said that sometimes they have to make stuff unskippable because there is stuff happening background (= dungeon coded bad).
I don’t see how this is preventing ’em to trigger that code on skip. Even so, just increase load times and make cinematics skippable, it would be less irritating .
I’d rather play with whiny elitists than with most GW2 ‘average’ players, at least they get the job done.And yes, if you don’t know what you’re doing and you don’t tell me that when you join, you’re getting kicked faster than you can scream NERF PLIX!111
Nice generalization!We should ban him from the forums since using logic in arguments is soooo last millennium, and you didn’t even bother to answer his question.
Its like you’re saying playing an FPS makes you a good shot IRL. Sorry, no.
Hey Sniper Elite V2 helped me tons when i joined military!
On more serious note, how are they planning to counter balance stealth counters?Backstab doesn’t require positioning anymore?We get heavy armor?Its all sunshine and rainbows till you destroy one of few viable builds.
Allow thieves to move while using Pistol Whip in PvE or remove delay prior to channeling(via trait).For mainhand pistols, you could add some short party buff on every crit/cond apply(also via trait?), that could help out with support aspect.
Edit: or make pistol 2 buff you with dummy ability, allowing you to buff allies with unload while that buff is active, that could create some rudimentary rotation in PvE at least.
I’m pretty sure some dev mentioned that end of the zone achievements only get triggered if you’re standing near the chest, which is the only special thing I did. Try standing in/next to it next time you do it, and make sure you’re doing it on normal, academic can’t be done on infantile.
If you’re soloing the zone but are in a party the locks/bells will require as many keys as party members. It doesn’t matter if the party members are in the zone or doing things outside of SAB.
Negative, I’ve completed both worlds on normal/trib while being in a party with one or two people.As long as they’re not in the instance game will treat you as solo, and OP’s SS shows that he’s not in a party so I’d guess its safe to say its a bug.
I had tons of fun doing entire W2Z3 trib map,its pretty much how I expected tribulation to be and it didn’t feel grindy like other maps, or like it was some college students programming project.
Zexion do you mean on Tribulation Mode? I’m finding it impossible on TM but easy as hell normally, I think everyone else is assuming it’s standard mode.
He did say he dies instantly, which only happens on trib mode.I’d say you’re the only one here making assumptions.
For once, Anet didnt give the access of one content to the whole player base, For once we have difficulty, for once being skilled give you an advantage.
Please, do not start to complain, please just don’t, casuals have got content enough, do not take it from us, or this game will be ruined by casuals (or actually is).
Really… i play 16 hours a day lol, every day im hardly casual.
The event does not have any logical approach or system in place apart from tying to stealth to de agro making class specific roles here OP or UP.
I like a challange but 100+ games and still unable to do it with my guild is too far, so i guess you are one of those ex wow players who down the hardest boss in 15 minuets ect but not all have your l33t skill bro.
I was with Speed last night,we completed all 4 tiers on our first attempt using complex game mechanics such as LOS, dodging and running around like morons.I must say we had tons of fun and I can’t wait for more content like this!
You dumping 16 hours of your life(which is kinda unhealthy,you might want to get out more IMO) and still failing at events where slight amount of cooperation is required only proves that you are indeed a casual.If you are unable to refine your methods you will be stuck in this average category doing average ’chievements and never ascend to the ranks of those who can faceroll this stuff and have fun.
Lastly,yes we’re ex wow players,I’m not really sure why you attempt to use it as an insult?Could it be that it was too hardcore for you?
Move existing suggestion window out of escape menu, to game UI next to Hints.
Stumbled upon it(suggestion window) by accident, I had trouble spotting it simply because I’m used to seeing this option as button on UI as in many other MMORPGs and not in game menu .I’m assuming there are few people out there like me who didn’t even see ingame option for bug reports, this should completely mitigate that issue and it shouldn’t take too long to implement and it should have no drawbacks.
Your thinly veiled statement of opinion is actually a personal attack. I will only ask this once. Stop attacking me. I’ve stated my request just as many others have, that fractals (and even dungeons for that matter) scale down for the number of people in the party, even if that party is one person. You have now delved into attacking my views and reasons for playing this game and are now telling me to go play another game. No, I will not. Cease your attacks.
Game stops responding twice a day on average,mostly in WvW,but I’ve experienced few crashes in open world too.
Sound is not affected.
Memory usage during hang is around 1600-1800MB.(I have 8GB RAM)
